Liu Shizi passed through the Moon City at Andingmen and walked along Maxi Street.
Between the rows of government offices and residential buildings, both sides of the road have been fortified and guarded by soldiers from the First Brigade.
In front of the queue, Zhu Cunji, the concubine of the King of Qin, who was wearing a burqa and carrying a sword, was riding a black donkey and leading the way.
As he walked, he turned around and introduced: "Commander, on the left are the Chenghuang Temple, Chang'an County, and the Inspection Bureau. Behind them are the Gongyuan, Yongfengcang, Tuntian Road, and the Inspectorate."
"There is also the Almshouse and Leoze Garden in the northwest corner of the city."
After that, Zhu Cunji waved his hand again and introduced to the right: "On the south side of West Street is Tixue Road, Yichuan Prince's Palace, Yongshou Prince's Palace, Qianwei, Arms Bureau, Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and Tea Patrol Inspectorate.
yamen."
Zhu Cunji's current job is to serve as a guide for Liu Chengzong.
He worked very hard.
This is part of Qin Fan's plan.
As early as when Liu Chengzong besieged the city, the old King of Qin had already decided the future fate of his sons in order to continue the vassal state.
The crown prince Zhu Cunji wanted to hide his name and run away, trying to get to Beijing.
The concubine Zhu Cunji went to Liu Chengzong, while Zhu Cunqi stayed with the old King of Qin in the Qin Palace to defend the city with a defensive army.
In short, the three means and one purpose are to allow the Qin vassal state to continue regardless of all costs.
As a result, before the city of Xi'an was broken, the defenders in the city came to the palace to arrest people, so that the Qin vassal clan started their escape plan in advance.
The prince was originally scheduled to run out of Xi'an incognito, but because he was too successful in hiding, he was captured by the rebels as an ordinary scholar, and died in the fight between two groups of rebels for the spoils of war.
The old King Qin and Zhu Cunqi, who stayed behind in the palace, successfully turned themselves into prisoners.
Only Zhu Cunji, who originally planned to defect to Liu Chengzong, left the palace and rushed to the battlefield south of the city.
Among the Ming troops who were defending the city and running away to the north, they were successfully captured by the Xianden soldiers of Ren Quan'er's tribe as a rebel.
When he was captured, Zhu Cunji was still shouting: "I am the prince of the Qin Dynasty, you can't kill me!"
The soldiers really thought that this was a strange thing to live in. When they brought it to Ren Quan'er, they discovered that this boy was just a concubine of the Qin vassal, not the heir apparent.
But this is not a problem for Ren Quan'er.
Because Zhu Cunji was relatively brave, he was not afraid even when he saw Quan'er's eyes, and even spoke harshly.
"I have already surrendered to the commander-in-chief, why can't I still be a heir apparent?"
This sentence was the correct password for Ren Quan'er, and he introduced Zhu Cunji as a confidant.
You're so right, the prince of the Qin Dynasty is just a fool, so the commander-in-chief can make you the prince of the Ming Dynasty!
Under Ren Quan'er's strong recommendation, Zhu Cunji became Liu Chengzong's local guide to Xi'an.
As the horses' hooves kicked, Liu Chengzong looked at the government offices in the north and south of the street, and was full of novelties about their street planning.
To be precise, this was the first city Liu Chengzong saw.
In fact, this strange feeling did not only happen to Liu Shishi, but also to the close subordinates behind him who entered the city together, all of whom had this strange feeling to some extent.
The rows of official and private houses on both sides of the road can easily confuse them.
Because this solid and majestic city was built in the third year of Hongwu and has a circumference of forty miles, there is no military plan at all in the city.
Who are the people behind Liu Chengzong? They were born in the border areas, in places like Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, Yan'an, Guyuan, and Xining.
Everyone has a military background to one degree or another, and all the scenery they see and hear are related to war.
War is not a distant legend that has never been seen before, but an inherent part of life or the world they understand.
So, until they entered Xi'an Fucheng, they didn't even realize that they had never seen the real "city".
The cities they are familiar with are all fortresses with military functions.
The large-scale fortress of the Eastern City is not only reflected in the moats outside the city, the towering city walls with protruding horse faces, and the numerous archery towers and barbican watchtowers and other external defense facilities.
There are also T-shaped streets and dead-end streets with non-facing gates and disconnected roads, which are used to prepare for charges and set up defense lines, as well as crooked gates, ramps and twists and turns to ambush, so that the enemy can still be driven out after losing the city wall.
Xi'an Fucheng has none of these arrangements for war.
This is a city that really makes them feel "inside".
Four city gates face each other, and two ten-mile-long streets divide the city into four parts. Standing at the west gate, you can see the east gate, and standing at the north gate, you can see the south gate. The layout is so simple that you don’t even have to turn when running a horse.
The functions of the government have become more centralized.
In the northwest, there are numerous government offices.
In the southwest, there are mainly auxiliary yamen for education, tea inspection, military bureau, and miscellaneous manufacturing.
In the southeast, where the literary style flourished, near the Dongzi Temple were Xianning and Chang'an, two county schools affiliated with Guo, and Shepu.
In the northeast are the Palace of the Prince of Qin and the Altar of Mountains and Rivers.
In the meantime, there are several county and prince mansions of the Qin dynasty in Yongshou, Yichuan, Yongxing, Heyang, Liyang, and Baoan, as well as a large number of craftsmen's households, military households, and civilian houses.
In addition, outside the east gate of Fucheng, across the moat, there is an expanded Dongguo New City. There are no government offices there. It is mainly the market and shops in Shilipu. There is only one government office, which is used for collecting merchants.
For tax purposes.
But for Liu Shishi, the official office was basically useless.
After all, in the past, taxes were collected outside the east gate, and the goods collected from the east of Tongguan were sent west, or merchants from Shaanxi were sent east.
Now this bank gate is in name only.
Sometimes it is the cause of the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, but Liu Shizi's Marshal's Office is relatively simple. The cause is no one, the process is government-run monopoly, and the result is the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business.
The streets in Xi'an are very long, but Liu Chengzong had a great time walking there.
Because the administrative buildings in this city are much more complete than the administrative department of the Marshal's Mansion, and they can all be used.
As they walked, Mr. Habayashi of the Shuai Mansion took notes, and he would soon be able to draw up the city's planning map.
Not long after, the group entered the Qin Palace.
As early as before Liu Chengzong entered Xi'an Mansion, he received a message from Ren Quan'er, taking the city, and sent troops to blockade the Qin Palace, waiting for him to come back and enter the city.
However, before Liu Chengzong entered the city, he had already sent the Huben battalion into the Qin palace to collect the property and the side halls.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Huben battalion worked efficiently. When Liu Chengzong entered the palace, he had already stepped forward to report: "Commander, the palace has been tidied up."
Liu Chengzong immediately nodded and led a group of generals straight to the side hall to convene a military meeting.
Xi'an Fucheng was very strange and novel to him, but Miyagi City was not like that. Anyway, he had already entered Prince Su's Mansion in Lanzhou, so there was nothing special about Prince Qin's Mansion, which was roughly the same size.
It is also a dual city with a Xiao wall outside and a palace wall inside. Enter from the Lingxing Gate on the East Street. To the west are the Shanchuan Altar and the Sheji Altar, and to the east is the Ancestral Temple of King Qin.
Beyond the second wall is the Duanli Gate of the palace wall. In front of the gate is a pair of bronze lions, which are extremely beautifully cast.
Within the palace, there are bamboo groves and study halls in the east, and the West Garden in the west. Along the central axis are the Chengyun Hall, the Royal Palace, the Round Hall, and the Cunxin Hall in the front hall. The back palace has two sleeping halls in the front and back, and a large back garden.
.
Generally speaking, these palace complexes and hundreds of side rooms can meet all Liu Shizi's needs.
East side hall.
A map of the Marshal's Mansion hangs in the hall, and a long table has been temporarily put together for the Marshal's Mansion to sit on both sides.
Several copies of the Xi'an city map were spread out on the long table. Yu Linlang, who was sharpening his pen and ink, walked among them and added a few strokes to the city map according to orders from time to time.
"Six yamen were built on the east and west sides in front of Duanli Gate. The northeast, southeast and southwest triangles of the city were changed into three military yamen."
Liu Chengzong pointed to the northeast corner of the city map with his scabbard: "The Xi'an Guard will be changed to the General Military Office of the First Field Brigade, and will be permanently stationed in a large camp."
Then he pointed to the southwest corner: "The Prince's Mansion of Yichuan was changed to the General Military Office of the Second Field Brigade, and a large camp is permanently stationed."
Finally, he pointed to the left guard of Xi'an in the southeast corner and said: "This is changed to the general military office in the pass, for Zhang Tianlin, and it is also stationed in a large camp."
Zhang Xianzhong stood up and said: "Commander, it is inconvenient for these three camps to be stationed in the city."
Liu Chengzong did not feel dissatisfied, and nodded: "I know, first of all, according to this regulation, there are training grounds outside the city in the west, and they will not all be stationed in the city."
He knew what Zhang Xianzhong meant. The marshal's troops were practicing all day long, firing cannons and artillery, and galloping on horseback. Even in this small area in the city, they couldn't do anything.
But he was really not happy to set up another force to defend Xi'an City.
Because the number of troops who entered Xi'an with him already exceeded 30,000 after a little calculation.
There are more than 15,000 people in this camp, but in addition to them, Liu Shishi plans to have people stationed in the Yulin and Huben 2nd Camp outside the walls of the Qin Palace.
Not to mention that he has to move his family here, and the academy, children's camp, and eight offices in Hehuang have to be moved to Xi'an.
Coupled with the various administrative staff of the Marshal's Mansion, 30,000 can only be said to be a conservative estimate.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengzong slowly shook his head, and then asked: "How are the arrangements for those who migrate abroad?"
"Huizhang...er, handsome."
Ren Quan'er stood up and clasped his fists, smiled sheepishly, and then said: "There are more than 50,000 hungry people, surrendered troops, and clan members. We will build a camp outside the city this year. The rations will be divided among the counties in the government."
"When spring comes, they will move to other places. The hungry people will move to the ownerless wasteland in the mansion. The troops will move to Guyuan, Jingning and Pingliang. The clan will need to allocate food from various places for half a year."
With that said, Ren Quan'er took a letter from the table and said: "The old man has replied. This group of people will first move to Lanzhou and Hehuang area to learn a little bit, and then they will be sent to Gansu in the summer to support the Tianshan Mountains."
To be honest, Liu Chengzong didn't want to support these clan members for a day.
But there is no way, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the Marshal's Mansion currently controls the territory. Apart from Xi'an Mansion, only the Hehuang Valley, which has been in operation for many years, can support the immigrant population.
When he nodded, Ren Quan'er added: "The brigade commander, Zhu Danyu, is surrendering his army. The hungry people will consider his wishes and recruit men to go to Tianshan."
Liu Shizi nodded heavily: "This is business. If you want Jin Chanzi to do a good job, you must choose the right candidate."
Although they all transfer people to Tianshan, different people have different uses.
Girls from the clan go to Tianshan to live a good life.
Of course, this depends on the title of the sect, and the days of those ladies are definitely incomparable to the past.
But this was already the most merciful approach to Liu Chengzong. At least if he followed the Tianshan Army, his life would be much better than if he casually promised it to the people in the mainland.
Liu Shishi also needs their lifestyle and knowledge as nobles to increase the influence of the Marshal's Mansion there.
When the Tianshan Army went over there, let alone spread the idea of becoming a king, it actually made Oirat almost assimilated to it. This was too embarrassing.
The gangsters, robbers, bandits, gamblers, gangsters, prisoners and useless clan members were given to the manpower of Sunday Qiang and Dai Daozi.
Throw away trash.
Send this group of people over there and issue knives and guns. There is a lot to be done in the vast world of Siberia, so go and do some hard work.
Of course it would be better if you have the ability to survive. If most of them die, they can be considered as eliminating harm for the people.
As for Sha Tai's surrendered generals, troops, and military households, these were the backbone of the northwest development and professional counterparts in Liu Chengzong's eyes.
Liu Chengzong had already thought about how to use this group of people.
Send the bad guys over first, make up the night without collecting the expedition team, and explore the way in front; behind, Shatai's surrendered generals and troops will serve as the forward camp in the Tianshan Army to attack the city.
After conquering the land, these military households occupied the land, formed defenses with the local people, strengthened their military support, and spread agricultural technology.
In the end, the eldest daughter went to the Tianshan Army, and the military households in the guard station got married and had children, ensuring cultural advantages and bringing a little royal shock to the barbarians.
Of course there are advantages and disadvantages to this, but the disadvantage is negligible in Liu Chengzong's opinion, that is, all the newborns are the blood of Emperor Taizu.
But that unlucky place, without the logistical support of the Marshal's Mansion, would be impossible to come back even if we wanted to.
The benefits are huge. The biggest advantage of girls from the clan is that they are highly educated and literate.
If a mother is literate, she can ensure a good tutoring for her children.
Ten or twenty years later, these children will grow up and be able to master the language, writing, and customs of those north of the Tianshan Mountains.
On this basis, it won't matter whether they and Zhongyuan are in the same group when the time comes. Of course, it's best if they are a group, and it doesn't matter if they are not.
Anyway, we don't collect taxes. We can do business and trade to exchange what we have, and occasionally support each other. That's enough.
"In this case, we are not in a hurry to send him there. We will wait until Sunday Qiang comes back and let him take the person back in person. Before that."
Liu Chengzong looked at Ren Quan'er and said: "According to my big idea, I will resettle Hehuang and let them learn more about how to save their lives in the ice and snow."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the map of Shuai Mansion hanging behind him.
Batur Hutaiji, Liu Chengzu, Zhou Qiang from Tianshan Oirat.
Subadi, Gunbu, Shuolei from Mobei, Yang Qi, Wang Chengen, He Huchen and Guitu from Monan.
Gu Ru, Bai Yan, and La Zun from Wu Zang; Liu Guoneng, Liu Jiusi, and Mu Ya from Kang Ning.
The capture of Shaanxi was the time when the Marshal's Office was at its most prestigious and powerful. It was a good time to summon all subordinates and allies to Xi'an for a grand gathering.
Even if it is not an alliance, you can still send a message to summon them. As long as people come, they can establish an alliance.
Of course, powerful countries cannot have alliances.
Either they are not really strong, or they are not a true alliance.
The Marshal's Mansion is a well-deserved powerful force, and this alliance is naturally the latter, but it is just a good idea to be a vassal.
But...Liu Chengzong raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows in distress, and pointed to the corner of the map: "Gather them together and tentatively plan to come over next summer?"
